LHP Successfully Completes ISO 26262 Surveillance Audit, Reinforcing Commitment to Functional Safety Excellence

Columbus, Indiana – March 23, 2026 – LHP Engineering Solutions (LHP), a global leader in automotive functional safety, embedded software development, and model-based systems engineering,  today announced the successful completion of its annual ISO 26262 surveillance audit conducted by UL Solutions. This achievement reaffirms LHP’s certified controller development process and ongoing commitment to delivering safety-critical software and engineering services at the highest industry standards.

Originally certified in 2024, LHP’s ISO 26262 process certification validated the organization’s adherence to rigorous functional safety requirements for road vehicle systems, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. UL Solutions independently evaluated LHP’s engineering processes against ISO 26262:2018, confirming alignment with globally recognized safety and reliability benchmarks.

The successful completion of this year’s surveillance audit reflects LHP’s continued investment in process improvement and operational excellence. Over the past year, LHP has enhanced its functional safety framework to make it more accessible, scalable, and actionable for both internal teams and customers.

Key advancements include:

• Improved accessibility of functional safety processes across engineering teams
• Integration of standardized templates directly within process workflows, reducing time spent searching for documentation
• Delivery of more robust, clearly defined engineering guidelines to support consistent execution
• Streamlined enablement for teams developing safety-critical systems in increasingly complex, software-defined environments

Offering: UL-certified Functional Safety Framework and Templates by LHP

In addition to strengthening internal capabilities, LHP now offers its UL-certified functional safety framework and integrated templates as solutions that customers can adopt within their own organizations. This enables engineering teams to accelerate ISO 26262 alignment, reduce development risk, and implement proven best practices without building processes from scratch.

“Successfully completing our ISO 26262 surveillance audit is more than maintaining certification; it reflects how we continue to evolve our functional safety processes to better support real-world engineering teams,” said Christian Glass, General Manager of LHP. “By embedding templates directly into workflows, strengthening our guidelines, and making our certified framework available to customers, we’re enabling organizations to move faster while maintaining the highest levels of safety and compliance.”

ISO 26262 remains the global benchmark for functional safety in automotive systems, addressing risks associated with electrical and electronic system failures. LHP’s continued certification ensures customers benefit from independently verified processes that reduce risk, accelerate development timelines, and support audit readiness across the product lifecycle.

With the automotive industry rapidly evolving toward software-defined vehicles, electrification, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), LHP’s UL-certified processes provide a strong foundation for delivering safe, reliable, and compliant solutions at scale.

About LHP

Since 2001, LHP Engineering Solutions has helped companies deliver technology that must perform as intended, every time. Our clients operate in safety-critical, operation-critical, and mission-critical environments such as on-highway, off-highway, aerospace, defense, and oil & gas, where failure is not an option, and delays cost market share.

LHP helps organizations design, architect, validate, and monitor complex systems. Our global team of engineers supports the development of advanced technologies, including high-voltage power electronics, hybrid and electric powertrain controls, connectivity, and ADAS platforms, enabling OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers to bring next-generation products to market quickly and with confidence.

In compliance-driven industries, LHP uses our model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach, enhanced through AI, to help companies move quickly while meeting rigorous standards, including functional safety, ASPICE, and cybersecurity. Our teams have helped global technology companies achieve functional safety certification and ASPICE compliance in months rather than years, and established enterprise-grade safety and cybersecurity management systems for leading OEMs.

When organizations must make major technology leaps, such as launching next-generation platforms, future-proofing vehicle architectures, or proving new concepts to secure market-defining programs, LHP delivers the engineering disciplines, solutions, and on-time execution required to succeed.

Because in industries where technology must perform as intended, precision engineering matters.
